  • Title: Rick and Morty – Juricksic Mort
  • IMDb: link

Combining Arrival and Jurassic Park into a single idea, “Juricksic Mort” sees dinosaurs return to the Earth in spaceships to be surprised by humanity’s rise and offers to fix the world for them (which they do in record time). Rick‘s (Justin Roiland) obsession to prove himself better to the dinos leads to a discovery about mildly-sentient asteroids out to destroy them. While not one of the strongest episodes, there’s fun to be had such as the family turning to Jerry (Chris Parnell) as the expert on how to get by doing nothing (now that nothing is needed).

Hocus Pocus 2

  • IMDb: link

Well, at least the Daredevil scenes were fun. Sandwiched between the show’s mediocre sitcom writing about a super-hero lawyer who dosen’t do much super-heroing or lawyering, the meat of the episode offers the return of Charlie Cox both in and out of costume as Matt Murdock and Daredevil. Also, points for getting the yellow version of Daredevil on screen (even if the reason for the change in costume is never addressed). For a series fumbling around the idea of female empowerment, there is some irony in the idea that it’s a man who gets Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) back into the courtroom (as a lawyer and not a defendant) and into her super-hero costume for the first time.
